  • Location(s): Building Wide Fire Alarm/Bell Strobe Testing 
  • Timeframe: Friday, 09/13/2024 - 07:30 a.m.
  • Category: Fire Alarm Testing 
  • Overview: Scheduled fire alarm bell/strobe testing is taking place coming Friday, 09/13/2024 - 07:30 a.m. During the fire alarm test, fire bells/horns will be pulsed for 5 seconds repetitively. It is important to note that if a true fire alarm happens to coincide with fire alarm testing, fire bells/horns will stop pulsing and will ring continuously, thereby indicating that you must exit the building and follow established evacuation procedures. Once again, pulsating fire alarm bells/horns indicate legislated, fire alarm testing by Physical Plant and do not require evacuation.

    Question or concerns regarding this disruption can be directed to Chris Green at 204-272-3078.
